Just wondering how this would work. We have started breeding NDs in shaded and will soon be adding the tan pattern to our herd. Anyway, how would brokens be added? I know that when your breeding Self's you can just breed a Broken to a Self and have a chance of both in the litter, but with...

A friend of mine is hooked on a certain color of ND, I think she said Smoke Pearl Martan...or maybe it was the Siamese Smoke Pearl?..Anyway, she was asking how to breed a certain color/shade like those above?I don't have a clue since I haven't worked with ND's, but I know that it's not a 100%...

It may seem silly, but I'm curious. I just found out that I'm pregnant (SO EXCITED) and my fiance and I are starting to think about our future with the baby. One major question is our rabbits. Is it safe to continue our rabbitry while I'm pregnant and with an infant? I'm thinking more to the...

I'm at my wits end with my rhinelander litter. They're 7 days old today and out of the 5 I've lost 3. One died from getting chilled when it crawled away from the rest and two died today. I've been nursing them to their mother who rejected the nest, I had only been feeding them once a day...

Had a litter of rhines born yesterday. The mother rejected the litter after we cleaned the placenta and blood out of the nest a few hours later since the whole thing was damp and the babies were scattered. The second we placed the nest back in (we didn't really change anything, just cleaned the...

I have a question about tort colors. It may sound stupid but how does a tort come about? For example, I have a mini rex tort doe (black based) and her pedigree is: Sires side: Black, Broken Black, Blue, Broken Lilac, Black, Broken Blue, Blue Dam's side: Black, Sable Point, Black, Sable...

I feel so bad for my doe Contralto (aka Connie). She's a rhinelander sport doe who we bred about a month ago to a beautiful marked buck from her original breeder. I palpated a while back and confirmed that she has 4-6 babies in her, and she's HUGE. She's due on the 12th but for the last couple...

Not that I'm on my way, or even dreaming about making a new variety or anything, but I was looking through the latest Domestic Rabbits mag and saw the list of exhibit presentations for this year's convention. How do they end up making the new varieties? Is it by breeding the current varieties...

My fiance and I combined websites (and rabbitry names). In the beginning he wanted his own rabbitry for his own rabbits and then I had my different breeds and rabbitry. But with his job opening up a ton of hours for him, he has had to put showing on the back burner and thus I have taken over the...

This past month has been full of moments. :P Time for an update on the rabbitries. Cool Water Rabbitry (mine) We have cut back quite a bit on our Dwarf Hotots to start breeding for better quality, and have been able to pick up a lovely buck to help with our herd. Currently we have 3. The...

Here's a few pics of two of the Jr's in our barn: Deeray's Cole, he's... barely 11 weeks old now and still has quite a bit of baby fur. He is also our buck that took BOB at 9 weeks of age :biggrin: (He's still learning how to stay still for posing, and still is learning how to keep his feet...

What would the possible kit colors be by breeding a sable point buck to a chocolate doe (mini rex)? Sable Point Buck SIRE: Sable Point; G.SIRE: Sable Point; G.Dam: Seal (GGParents: 3 Sable Points, 1 Seal) DAM:Sable Point; G. Parents: All Sable Point (GGParents: A3 Sable Point,1 Sable)...

With my mother's health she had to give up her early rabbitry project as she could not physically care for them (even though in a way they will always be her's) so she sold most back to the breeders except for a Jr, which is now mine. With all the stress with her health, and daily living, we...

Ok, so my mother is wanting to breed Sable Marten NDs. She so far has two does (a Jr and Sr) and has a black Sr doe with 1 leg that was more like a "Buy one and you can have this one since I need the space" kind of buy. So anyhow, she and I talked with another ND breeder that had some Sable...

As some have already read, we lost one of our rhinelanders early this morning as we got ready for a show in ohio. Our beautiful Haley was with us all day. :) She watched over us as both of our Mini Rex jr. bucks one their classes and competed for BOB and when our new jr. buck (we just got...

We lost our Haley early this morning. I got up to do an early morning feed before we head done to ohio for a show and she choked on her pellets. She has always been a vaccum when it comes to eating, and I've never had a rabbit choke, but knew right away what it was. We used a nasal aspirator...

I've hit a tough spot with my dwarf hotots. My main herd buck was marked very low at our last show and the judge helped me see what he's lacking. Well, then we went home, and I posed up his current litter. Another there is some major faults with the doe (mainly big ears...don't know where...

So my mother is taking up breeding/showing Netherland Dwarfs (hehe the rabbit bug is spreading ^.^) and I'd like to help her pick out a good starter setat the next show. I know several breeders here have them, so what are the key points when looking for a ND?

I have another first time mom that's treating her nestbox like anything but a kindling box. :P She's due in two days (the 26th). I know she's pregnant; I've palpated and he stomach is quite large and hard like she could go at anytime. But I've put in the box twice now and have had to clean it...

I love getting new things for my rabbitry. :) Just ordered evans software, have a few more things to get to make my rabbitry feel more like a 'professional' business; but to think that a few months ago I had never owned a rabbit (though I've always wanted one) and that 1 little pet turned into a...
